“Stay somewhere else! Avoid at all costs!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2007

My office manager made this reservation for me, so I had no say in my hotel accomidations. From the minute I arrived, this place was a total disappointment. Thank the lord I only had to stay one night and was able to cancel my second nite and get out of town!!!

The woman at the front desk was absolutely rude to me from the minute I checked in. No friendliness at all and reluctance to answer questions about billing, cost per night, and internet access.

The room itself was sub-par. There was a strange smell inside the room, almost like they tried some uber-powerful cleaner that really didn't do much but make the room smell even worse. The carpet was stained and the bed didn't even have a full bottom-sheet - it was one of those half sheets you'd see on a display bed at a mattress store!

The bathroom was a wreck! There was mildew in the shower and dried urine on the toilet seat and on the floor.

It's also located right next to a 24 hour liquor store/general store that had some shady characters hanging around at nite, which, as a solo traveler, made me feel quite uncomfortable.

The free breakfast the next morning = brown bananas, plastic-wrapped mini donuts.

Everything about this hotel was just awful. Spend the extra $20 and go across the street to the Marriott!!!!!

“Bedbugs”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2007

A decent warning to stayers of room 213.
(or adjacent rooms among the premises.) After deciding to retire for the evening after a very friendly check-in and being informed of their recently added free wi-fi. I Immediately discovered a very decent infestation of bedbugs. After 2 minutes of being in the bed I acquired over 150 bites and switched rooms immediately. Being in town for business and being required to stay here a second night I am sleepless and ungodly itchy and waiting for the manager (who has yet to be available for communication) to talk to. I honestly look like I went swimming in poison Oak and have been applying Cortaid like suntan lotion all day. Advisory for anyone staying here, please look through all linens before accepting your assigned room. I would hate for anyone else to have to go through this.

“wow, what a disappointment”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2006
2
people found this review helpful

Motel does not offer free internet (as I was told they did) "dialup" is free if you still have a dialup account. Carpeting was so filthy, white socks lasted only 10 minutes before turning black. Burn marks all over the carpet and bed spread. Chair for table fell apart. No lightbulbs in 2 lamps. Dog food from previous occupant still on the floor. Hair and dirt in the tub. Breakfast lousy. Many channels on the TV did not work with the remote : they had to manually entered from the TV. Front desk person was informed of the displeasure and we got a back turned to us as if he could have cared less.

“If you just need a place to sleep”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 April 2005
2
people found this review helpful

This is a good place to stay if you just need a quick place to stop and sleep. We made our reservations through an internet web site that was linked to TripAdvisor. When I asked at the desk about AAA or AARP discounts, I was abruptly told that it had been credited... although I had never given my number or card. The room was clean and relatively (dog on the floor barked a couple of times) quiet. Only soap and personal pack of Kleenex provided in the bathroom. Warm water for shower was slow, and never hot. Breakfast buffet was the usual packaged goods, coffee, and juice.
